1. Act 5 Sc.8:
In act five scene eight, the conflict takes place between Macduff and Macbeth. Macduff goes into Macbeth’s castle in order to kill him and regain the throne from the evil Macbeth. He believes that Macbeth is an evil tyrant who stole the throne from the true heir. Macduff believes that Malcolm is the rightful king and he fights in order to put him back on the throne. Macduff goes into Macbeth’s castle and there is a feeling of tension in the scene. There is a mood of anger, hatred, violence, and vengeance. This scene concludes the whole story Macduff kills Macbeth. In the end, Malcolm regains the throne and Macbeth dies after Macduff stabbed him.
2. Macduff:

When he walks into the castle, he looks for Macbeth in order to kill him. Macduff wants Malcolm to be king because he is the rightful heir. His role in this scene is to kill Macbeth. Macduff pulls out his sword and he starts fighting with Macbeth. When Macduff kills Macbeth, Malcolm regains the throne. A new king is crowned and order is restored in Scotland. An actor who would play Macduff would be Jensen Ackles. He would fit into this role because he will be able to show Macduff’s emotions. Macduff is a strong character who tries to get revenge for his families death.

Setting: The setting is that they are marching toward Macbeth’s castle, Dunsinance, through the Birnam Forest.
Mood: The mood of the scene is determined.
Purpose and the Summary: Malcolm and his men are marching to Dunsinance to seek revenge and get back to the throne for Malcolm.
My character is Siward’s son. He is fighting along his father and other men in this scene. His motive is to start his manhood and earn a good reputation. He is still young so he wants to have a good impression in the king and others. Young Siward’s purpose in the scene is to help Malcolm get back his crown. Young Siward is a helper in the play. A famous actor for the role of young Siward is Sterling Knight. He is right for this role because he is young and there is always a chance for him to learn more. I think Knight is also good in acting in his shows so I pick him.
1. Act 5, scene 5
ReplyDeleteSetting: The castle in Scotland
Mood: fear
Conflict: Birnam Woods is starting to move and this means Macbeth will be in danger.
Characters: This character are Macbeth, Seyton the servant, and the Messenger. I will act as Seyton, Elaine will act as the Messenger, and Miriam will act as Macbeth.
Summary: Act 5, scene 5 is about when Macbeth and Seyton heard a cry from a woman. Seyton went to see what happened and it turns out that Lady Macbeth died. Later a messenger comes in to tell Macbeth that Birnam Woods is coming towards the castle. Macbeth was scared at first until he told himself not to be scared because he will not die. Macbeth will not die until a man not born from a woman kills him.
2. My character is Seyton.
- His is just a servant that tells Macbeth that Lady Macbeth suicided.
- His purpose in the scene is to inform Macbeth about Lady Macbeth's death.
- I don't know which actor I would choose if I could hire a famous actor to play my character. I think I will choose a middle aged actor that is a guy. He will have to be kind of tall. Also, he will be a little ugly. I will choose this type of actor because I imagine the servant to be kind of old and ugly.
Act 5 Scene 5
ReplyDeleteCharacters:
Seyton-Emily
Messenger-Elaine
Macbeth-Miriam
Setting: The setting is in Macbeth's castle.
Mood: The mood of this scene is tension because Lady Macbeth has just died and people are coming after Macbeth for revenge.
Summary: Macbeth and his servant Seyton heard a cry from a women. Seyton went to find out what happened and it turns out that lady Macbeth died. Lady Macbeth will die anyway because she is thinking about what she did. The messenger saw the forest beginning to move. Macbeth will be defeated like what the witches predicted. As the woods begin to move Macbeth will be in danger because he will be defeated by Malcolm,Macduff and the soldiers. Macbeth was a little afraid but he told himself that he will only be killed by a men not born from a women.
Purpose:The purpose of this scene is to show that Macbeth is still strong and he doesn't want to be defeated. This scene shows that Lady Macbeth have just died and Macbeth will be defeated soon.The messenger's job is to tell Macbeth what is happening. When the messenger saw that the forest was moving he became afraid.The messenger is also very loyal to Macbeth because if he was lying he would be punished.A famous actor to play the messenger role is Zac Efron. Zac Efron usually plays the important roles and it could be a challenge for him playing a small role in the play.He will be a good actor to choose because he is well experience and it will be a new challenge for him to speak very little.

ReplyDeleteAct 5 Scene 1
1) Setting: inside Macbeth's castle
Conflict: Lady Macbeth versus herself. She emits to killing people.
Mood: guilty and shocking
Characters: the doctor, the gentlewoman,and lady Macbeth.
Summary and Purpose: The GentleWoman calls for the Doctor to watch Lady Macbeth. The gentlewoman noticed that Lady Macbeth started to sleepwalk and wanted the doctor to help her. While the doctor and the gentlewoman are talking Lady Macbeth enters carrying a candle. They watch Lady Macbeth in silence and listen to her. Lady Macbeth says she won't kill again and that she murdered Duncan. The purpose of this scene is to show that Lady Macbeth is guilty and it is eating away at her.
Lady Macbeth
2) Lady Macbeth is trying to forget about the murders she commited. She feels guilty for the deaths of innocent people, so she could gain power. Lady Macbeth longs to forget the murders and swears she won't kill again. While she is sleepwalking Lady Macbeth washes her hands in an imagenary sink. Lady Macbeth's purpose in the scene is to show that the guilt is killing her inside. Lady Macbeth wants to forget about the murders and wants to be forgiven. The actor I would chose to play my character would be Tom Hanks. He is a very good actor who has a lot of experience. When ever Tom Hanks is in a movie he acts with so much emotion. He puts his mind into the character and becomes that character. Through the acting by Tom Hanks the people can see the feelings and emotions that are being portrayed.
Act V sc i
ReplyDelete1. In this scene, Lady Macbeth becomes crazy and thinks there is blood on her hands. The gentlewoman sees Lady Macbeth’s actions and calls the doctor. The doctor comes and watches Lady Macbeth when she is sleep walking. He tells the gentlewoman that he doesn’t know what is wrong with Lady Macbeth and that he never saw a person like her. Lady Macbeth talks about Macduff’s family and Banquo’s death. She begins to have a guilty conscience. The conflict of this scene is Lady Macbeth verses herself or her actions. The mood of this scene is sorrow and amazement. The audience will be shocked to see how Lady Macbeth is feeling guilty. The purpose of this scene is to understand that Lady Macbeth becomes guilty.
2. The Doctor: This character comes in to see what is wrong with Lady Macbeth. He just watches Lady Macbeth and her actions to try to see what she has. He doesn’t know what is wrong with Lady Macbeth and is amazed and shocked because he never saw anything like Lady Macbeth. The purpose of the doctor is to explain that what Lady Macbeth has is unknown and to show how she has got mad. If I would hire a famous actor to play my character it would be Peter Facinelli. He matches the role of a doctor. I picture the doctor to be something like Peter Facinelli because of his actions.
Act 5, Scene 7
ReplyDeleteCharacters:
Macbeth-Saquib
Macduff/Malcolm - Rania
Young Siward - Gianluca
Siward - Joseph
Setting: The setting of this scene is on the battlefield, and then in the castle.
Mood:
violence/war, intense
Conflict:
Young Siward confronts Macbeth and finds out who he is and they fight each other, but he dies.
Summary:
Macbeth knows that he is surrounded and he must face the consequences. Young Siward challenges Macbeth to a fight. Macduff then enters the room and calls for Macbeth, the person that murdered his family. Siward then tells Malcolm that the castle has been surrendered and they have won the battle.
2. Young Siward
My character Young Siward is one of the generals son, he is the son of Siward. When he approaches Macbeth and finds out who he is he says "the evil himself could not pronounce a title More hateful to mine ear" (Act 5, sc.7, lines 10-11). He challenges Macbeth to a fight but Macbeth wasn't scared because any man born from a woman would not beat him. So he fights young Siward and he kills him. Young Siward is a very heroic and confident man to fight Macbeth. The actor that I would pick to play the part of Young Siward would be Russell Crowe because of how fearful he is. I feel that Russell Crowe is an actor who will fight and not be afraid to do so just like young Siward.
Act 5 Scene 2

Menteith- Boris
Angus- Miguel
Lennox- Brandon
Caithness- Michelle
Setting: Walking through a forest or trail towards Birnam Wood.
Mood: Proud and determined
Conflict: The men want to fight against Macbeth so that they can gain back Scotland.
Summary: The Scottish are marching together to meet with the English forces with Malcom and Macduff near Birnam Wood that is near Macbeth’s castle. The men talk about the members of their army and also talk about Macbeth. They say that Macbeth is a paranoid King and that he will no longer have power. The men also agree that they will fight against Macbeth until the end because they need to help “cure” Scotland.
2.
Caithness is a soldier who is confidant that Macbeth is not fit to be King. He thinks Macbeth is a paranoid man who is crazy for thinking he can justify his actions. Caithness wants to fight against Macbeth because he feels he has caused Scotland to fall apart. Caithness believes that it is their duty to return Scotland to it’s previous state.
Caithness’s purpose in this scene is to show the audience how driven these men are to dethrone Macbeth. Caithness gives reasons why Macbeth is an unfit King, and then he continues to say that it is their obligation to restore order in Scotland.
If I could choose any famous actor to play Caithness it would be Liam Neeson. From watching previous films Liam Neeson has acted in, he seems to play the role of an asserted person very well. I feel that Caithness is a man who is sure of what actions he wants to take and Liam Neesom can definitely nail that.

Moods: Guilt, Sorrow, Amazement, shocked
Summary:Gentlewoman calls the Doctor to come and she is wrong with Macbeth because Lady Macbeth sees blood in her hand and she feels guilt. She sleep walks. They do not know what is wrong with her.
2.)My character is Gentlewoman. She is a lady who calls the Doctor to come see what is wrong with Lady Macbeth. Her mood in the scene is amazement and shocked. All she does is calls the doctor and speaks to the doctor about Lady Macbeth and her weird actions she is making. If I would hire an actor for the Gentlewoman, it would be someone who can act pretty good on being amazed and curious.
a. Act 5 Sc. 2
ReplyDeleteConflict – The soldiers march and are determined to defeat Macbeth.
Mood: There is a cool but yet anxious mood as the men are eager to fight Macbeth.
Characters - Boris will act as Menteith, Michelle will play Caithness, Brandon will play as Lennox and I will act as Angus.
Summary/Setting - The warriors are walking in a group while they talk about the English armies which they will meet in Birnam Woods. They have a short discussion about the people who are part of the English army. They do not leave Macbeth out of their conversation as they critique his position as king. They mention that his king’s robe is too big for him. They then proceed towards Birnam Woods with a lot of determination.
b. Character: Angus
My character is Angus. Angus is a Scottish nobleman and his purpose is to be part of Macduff’s army to fight against Macbeth. He doesn’t say much in comparison to the other characters in the scene but when he does speak he directs to Macbeth. He analyzes his position as king and the fact that he has “secret murders” behind him. He is ready and very willing to kill Macbeth and is determined to do so like the other men in his group.

Setting - Birnam Wood
Mood - Determination and Vengeance
Summary - Malcolm tells the soldiers to take a branch and camouflage themselves to hide the number of their army. Malcolm and his army march towards the castle to attack and overthrow Macbeth.
Macduff wants to seek out Macbeth and kill him personally because Macbeth killed his family. Macduff feels rage and wants revenge. He also wants to place the rightful heir in his throne. In this scene Macduff's purpose is to aid Malcolm in the attack against Macbeth and help him take the throne. I believe Brad Pitt would fit the role of Macduff because Macduff is portrayed as a loyal, strong and noble man. Brad Pitt starred in the movie, "Troy." I believe he has enough experience to play the role of Macduff. Brad Pitt can portray the noble and strong characteristic that is seen within Macduff.
Act V, scene 3
ReplyDeleteCharacters: Macbeth, Servant, Seyton, and Doctor
Setting: This scene takes place in King Macbeth’s castle.
Conflict: Macbeth finds out that Scottish and English soldiers are against him. Macbeth is worried about Lady Macbeth.
Mood: Macbeth’s moods are nervous, worried, and impatient.
Summary: Macbeth is told that ten thousand English and Scottish soldiers are against him. Macbeth prepares to fight the soldiers by putting on his armor, but it is not needed yet. The doctor is trying to cure Lady Macbeth, who cannot rest because of her guilt, but he is having trouble doing so. Macbeth is worried about her, and he is nervous about the soldiers who are against him.
Purpose: The purpose of this scene is to show that Macbeth has a lot to worry about. He needs to prepare to fight the soldiers who will be coming after him, and he worries about his wife who is insane. He is trying to deal with all of this so that he can stay in power, but it may become too overwhelming. This scene foreshadows that Macbeth is going to be in trouble in the future, and that he can lose his power.
2. Seyton
Seyton is Macbeth’s attendant. His role in this scene is to confirm that the soldiers are against Macbeth. He is also the person who helps Macbeth prepare for an upcoming battle by getting Macbeth’s armor. Seyton obeys Macbeth by getting his armor. He is confused about why Macbeth wants the armor because he does not need it yet. If I could hire a famous actor to play Seyton I would choose Emile Hirsch. I would choose him because he is a talented and versatile actor. Seyton’s role is small, but Emile Hirsch would be able to pull it off even though he is usually in larger roles.
1. Act 5: Scene 8
ReplyDeleteSetting: Take place in Dunsinane Castle.

Macduff tells them that the reign of Macbeth is over. Malcolm give a speech and they celebrate their victory.
2. Malcolm is the character I’m playing.
Malcolm feeling during the scene is proud. He is proud to know that he and the others who were fight against Macbeth won. He is also saddened for Siward because he lost his son. But overall, Malcolm is glad to know that Macbeth is dead and he can now rule Scotland. The purpose of Malcolm in the scene is to be inform that he will now get the crown he deserves. An actor I feel that who could be hire to play the role of Malcolm is Jake Gyhenhaal. I feel that he has the strength that requires to play Malcolm. Malcolm is intelligent man and I feel the actor could fit into that role easily.

Macbeth
Macbeth feels like he can fight against Malcolm’s forces and win. He gets worried at first when they are coming. He is a guy that will do anything to keep his power and win. The purpose of him being in the scene is to build tension and suspense. If I could hire a famous person to play my character it would be Johnny Depp. He is a good actor and can manage the insane suspenseful moods in a movie.

Menteith's purpose is to suck up to everyone. After Malcolm expresses how he wants a day to come when there will be peace in happiness and Menteith responds by saying "we doubt it nothing," which means something like "we believe in you!" Than when Siward asks where they are he tells him that they're in Birnam Forest. Why does he have to answer back to everyone? What a jerk. If I had to hire a famous actor to play him, I'd hire Bruce Willis to play him. No particular reason why though.

Summary: Malcolm, Siward, Macduff arrive with their troops near Dunsinane Castle.
Purpose: The purpose of having this scene is to distract the audience for a good amount of time for other actors to prepare for the next scene.
|2|My character is Siward.
- Siward’s feelings are confident, and anxious to see how things will go. He have great confident that Macduff, Malcolm and himself will work together to fight off Macbeth and have Macbeth destroyed! The actions of Siward would be persuading Malcolm and Macduff to fight!!! His desires is for Malcolm to be King so then he will have a nice relationship with the King of Scotland.
- Siward is the uncle of Malcolm. Siward’s purpose in helping Malcolm is because he would rather have Malcolm as a King instead of Macbeth. If Malcolm becomes the King, Siward would have a better relationship with the King because Malcolm is his nephew. There will be less conflict between the two ruler because Siward helped Malcolm get back his throne and supported him in killing Macbeth.
- If I can hire a famous actor to play Siward, he would be Will Smith because it would be quite interesting and perhaps, funny!

He tells Macbeth that she has illusions that keep her from resting. If I had to hire a famous actor to play the doctor, it would be Will Smith. He is good at playing intense roles.

My character is Ross. He is a Scottish nobleman. He, like many others, are on Malcolm's side. He wants Macbeth to die and for Malcolm to be the rightful king. His purpose in the scene is to tell Siward that his son was killed during the battle. If I could hire an actor to play Ross, I would pick Orlando Bloom. I have watched the movie Troy and his acting fits ancient times really well. His image is good for the role of a nobleman.

Macbeth then wants to fight Macduff because Macduff claims he is not born from a woman. Macbeth's purpose is to stand his ground at his castle and defend his title as King to his last breath.
3. If I can choose an actor to play my chracter I would choose Gerard Butler to play Macbeth because, he is familiar with playing such chracters, he also has that loud emotional voice that is key to any actor playing Macbeth.

My Character: Malcolm
Malcolm is feeling proud and confident because he is giving the orders to his troops. He tells them to remover their disguises so that Macbeth can see them now. He does not believe that they will lose so he reveals his army to Macbeth.
Malcolm is in this scene to lead the troops to Dunsinane castle and to give them their orders.
An actor who i believe can play Malcolm is Ben Stiller. Ben Stiller plays a man who is in a war in the movies "Tropic Thunder." Ben Stiller is a good actor when it comes to giving orders and giving off a confident mood. Be Stiller shows this in the movie just as Malcolm is showing this in the scene.

Macbeth is in the battle field and encounters young Siward. The two men fight and Macbeth kills Young Siward. As Macbeth fights on the battlefield, Macduff is looking for Macbeth to take revenge. While Macduff searches for Macbeth, Malcolm and Siward are victorious at taking over the castle.
My character- Macbeth
Macbeth is the main character of the book and very hard to portray. He changes throughout the story and is very different at the end from what he is in the beginning. In the scen he fights Young Siward and kills him. He is very confident in the fights and knows that he will be victorious. If I were to choose someone to play the role of Macbeth I would choose either Gerard butler, or Eric Bana. They both have experience form previous movies and I believe they might be good at playing a character like Macbeth.

2. My characters are Malcolm and Macduff.
Malcolm has only one line in this scene. Malcolm along with Macduff and Siward is looking for Macbeth. Malcolm’s purpose in this scene is that when Macbeth is caught and killed, Malcolm is then crowned King.
Macduff is very anxious in this scene. He is eager to get revenge against Macbeth for the murder of his family. Macduff is in constant search for Macbeth around the castle. Macduff is supported by the Scottish and English army.
I would choose Brad Pitt and Johnny Depp to play Malcolm and Macduff. I think they’re two very strong male actors. This scene has a very violent and rush taste to it that these actors can definitely portray.

Macduff:Ying
Angus:Jason
Young Siward:Lillian
Setting:Birnam Wood
Mood: Angst and anxiety, anger
Conflict:Malcolm and his men prepare to enter war with Macbeth.
Summary: Malcolm and the other men are in Birnam Wood nearing Macbeth. Malcolm decides that the men should conceal how many of them there really are by hiding behind tree branches.
2. My character is Malcolm. Malcolm is feeling anxious and ready for war. He hopes for the best and doesn't seem as blood thirsty as i would expect Macduff to be. He takes on the role of a leader and remain a stable force among other characters. His purpose to the scene is to become the stability the characters need. He is what keeps everything togethe. Malcolm is there future and his character's purpose is to hold everyone togther. For Malcolm i would hire Eric Bana to play him. I feel Eric Bana would make a great king because of the kind and loyal side he had in Troy. He seemed like an honest man who died defending his brother yet i feel Eric Bana also posseses the strength, drive and dominating power he showed as king in The Other Boleyn Girl that Malcolm requires.

Mood: Determined
Setting: The Birnam Forest
Summary: Malcolm and Macduff's army is marching towards Macbeth to revenge the death of Macduff's family, Banquo and Duncan.
2. The character I am assigned to is the soldier of Malcolm and Macduff's ten thousand men army. I feel determined to eliminate the evil and corrupted King, Macbeth, and will fight till the end. My motives is nothing other than following my commander's command. The purpose of me in Act 5 scene 4 is to get ready to battle and show Macbeth that we outnumber him by thousands of men and that he should be afraid. If i could hire a actor to act out my role it would be Brendan Gleeson from Troy, he was the commander of another army that was fearless and fought till the end. I think he would portray my role as a strong and wild soldier that will do whatever it takes to protect his honor and his country.

My character = Siward
Siward feels sad and angry since Macbeth killed his son, Young Siward. His purpose in the scene is to lead the English army to go against Macbeth. The actor I would pick to play Siward's part is Paul Blackthorne because I can imagine him more as a leader.

Scene 4
ReplyDeleteSetting: Birnam wood
Mood: Intense; Determined; Hopeful; Confident
Summary: Malcolm, Macduff and the warriors are planning they're going to approach Macbeth's castle. They have their flags and drums ready to march past the forest into Dunsinane where Macbeth is. They're planning out their attack. They want Macbeth and his army to underestimate them so they camouflage themselves creating the illusion that they are less people than they actually are. They head out for war.
Conflict: Warriors vs. Macbeth
Characters: Siward, Siward's son, Malcolm, Menteith, Macduff, Angus, and Soldier.
My character: Siward
Siward is the commander of the army that Malcolm and Macduff have gathered to fight against Macbeth. Siward feels determined and strong. He wants to win this battle and is making his moves as strategic as possible. Siward's purpose in this scene is to create a sense of direction and organize the moves of the army instead of simply attacking without a plan.
If I were to chose a famous actor to play Siward it would be Tim Robbins, the main character in The Shawshank Redemption. This is because in his acting he is very serious and direct. He keeps a determined attitude. He knows what he wants and he knows exactly how to get what he wants. He would be a great leader.
